We participate in the AAMC Visiting Student Learning Opportunities (VSLO) portal for away elective applications.  If your school does not participate in the VSLO portal, then we will not be able to accommodate your application. We are no longer processing paper applications.  

Students who have already earned the equivalent of the MD degree at the time of application or by the time of the start date of the elective are not eligible to apply.
